Keratosis Pilaris Anyone?
Posted: 11-08-05 10:18am

I have kp (little bumps that look like pimples) on my arms, legs, back, face & bum. I've tried exfoliants, lac-hydrin topical cream, and regular lotion just to keep it hydrated. I feel like my skin is disgusting and i'm really embarrassed of it. The bottom of my face under my cheeks is the most embarrassing because it looks like my face is red and bumpy all the time. If anyone knows of any other products I can try or a good brand of makeup to use i'd be grateful.

Hello. I have keratosis pilaris. From what i've read kp is really common! I've been using multiple products to treat mine, neutrogena skin smoothing body lotion, carmol 20 and kiss my face soap (with olive oil). I've seen a huge improvement in my skin with this combination. :d you can go to www.Helpforkp.Com for more products recommended to treat it and there's also a discussion forum there too.

Hth!!

Oops! Forgot to say that I use bare minerals and I absolutely love it! You could also try dermablend make up which is really good too.

Is that basically the same thing as heat bumps? It sounds similar, but if not, then how do you get rid of heat bumps?

I have the same exact thing! Little bump on my upper arms. I always thought it was just acne but it was wierd because I have no acne on my face or anywhere else. So I did some research and found out it was kp keratosis pilaris. I went on [removed] and ordered kp duty, I use it everyday and it seems to be working really good. Actually im just about to order more! Oh and the most important thing is not to "pick" them, it makes them worse and they even come back more
